Peacock has released the second season of The Paper, the mockumentary comedy set at a struggling Ohio newspaper. The series premiered on September 9, 2026, and continues the workplace story with Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore and Oscar Nuñez among the returning cast.
The show follows a newsroom that is trying to stay useful while the business around it changes. That setting gives the comedy an easy source of conflict: deadlines, budgets, personalities and the pressure to produce journalism in a market where attention is moving quickly.
Peacock‘s official material says season 2 includes 10 episodes. The platform has also released a trailer and cast information, giving viewers a preview of the new workplace problems without revealing the full season. A complete-season release allows subscribers to choose their own pace rather than waiting for a new episode each week.
The Paper is connected to The Office through its mockumentary style and creative lineage, but Peacock presents it as a separate series with its own newsroom cast. That distinction matters for viewers who want to know whether they need to watch an earlier show before starting.
Streaming details can vary by country. Peacock’s United States listing is the primary reference for the release, while international viewers may see the series through a different service or at a later date. Checking the local platform catalogue is more reliable than assuming a United States launch applies everywhere.
A second season also gives the show a chance to deepen the characters. The first episodes establish the workplace and its unusual mix of optimism and pressure; later episodes can explore how the staff responds when a new plan threatens the paper’s identity.
For Peacock, The Paper is another attempt to build a comedy around an institution people recognize. The season 2 launch gives the series a fresh run while the newspaper setting keeps the jokes tied to real changes in work and media. Viewers can now judge whether the newsroom has enough stories for another season.
